What exactly has General Hospital's Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) been up to in Europe for the past five years? Showrunner Frank Valentini spoke with Access Hollywood at ABC’s TCA after party, where he offered up the skinny. Valentini stated:

“She’s coming back because Port Charles is her home and there were reasons why she was away,” he told AccessHollywood.com at ABC’s bash last Thursday, following the Television Critics Association Winter Session 2013. “I think it’ll be exciting for the audience to discover what those reasons are and to sort of stay with a little bit of the mystery of Laura’s return.”

Will Francis' stint at GH be a short one? Not according to one half of Cartini:

I have total confidence the dynamic duo will do this right! I am really looking forward to Laura coming back. The show is great, but will be even better with this element added. However… should I see her start biting Luke’s lip.. then we have a problem!

This is fabulous news. When I think of GH I think of Laura (and Luke) so it makes sense that she is back where she belongs and on contract. I am hoping that Lucy, Kevin, and Scotty are long term returns as well. All this great soap news is making my head spin lol!

I’m glad Genie will be on awhile an glad to see the old school vet again but the vet that bought me back to GH is in a come. I wish FV will tell us what the static of Tristan Rogers on gh and when will Robert be back. I’m just not as excited about vets returning when my favorite vet is in some stupid when he’s more productive being up and about. Having Luke/Laura/Robert soap royalty on in a story of their own will be a dream come true for some longtime viewers..

Back in the Luke and Laura days they made GH a household name. They blew the roof off of GH. People love Laura. She has such deep dark history as well as Light. She is a one of a kind character FV knows it and he’s running with that hire. Good for him.

It will be great to have Laura back because it won’t be Guza’s version of Laura. I trust RC and FV to do right by this iconic character. I’m hoping for one more L&L adventure for GH’s 50th anniversary.

i could not agree with you more! the lack of respect guza and co showed laura and miss francis was appalling! RC and FV are doing an incredible job of creating gripping, entertaining story, while embracing GH’s rich and legendary history! Now if only Mr. Corday could get a clue….

Devon (Bryton James) and Hilary (Mishael Morgan) have been sneaking around on Neil (Kristoff St. John) for months as he struggled with blindness. I’m sure Neil dreamed of regaining his sight, but I’m also positive he never expected to get such an eye full when he did.
